What acupuncture points are there on the back of the human body?

Acupoints refer to certain points on the human body's meridians. Traditional Chinese medicine generally uses acupuncture or massage to stimulate the skin to treat diseases. Acupoints are generally located in places with fewer nerve endings and blood vessels. Famous doctors in ancient times used this method to treat some difficult and complicated diseases. It is very effective and has been passed down through word of mouth and is still used today. Let me introduce the acupoints on the back.
